you need to be running wm6.5

put the ubuntu folder to your SD card (which should have 3GB on it)

use file explorer to open ubuntu

tap on Haret and yes for permission
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] pioterek2666:
Any idea howto make usb host work from haret?Anyone has the same problem? Latest version of ubu v0.3 was working fine...
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
I think you have to have everything (or something) plugged in on boot up and it works fine. I tried to boot it and then plug things in and nothing happened.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] pioterek2666:
Yeap it seams that is the problem. I have done it with your solution and its working (but not always).Anyway thx for help.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
I really like this winbuntu.

Well done isaiah12345 for your work :D
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] lomo2002:
thanks for hard work!

I am downloading it...:)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] legolas93:
I will install win mo 6.5 only to try your Ubuntu!..

Please keep up this good work! ;);)

It can send sms?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] isaiah12345:
yes it can. it can also call but there is no sound
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] floating_point_unit:
Hey isaiah, please try this for sound.

edit file /etc/asound.conf with these contents:

pcm.qsd8k {
type plug
slave {
pcm "file:/dev/msm_pcm_out,raw"
format S16_LE
rate 44100
channels 2
}
}

# Device for playing media audio
pcm.softvol {
type softvol
slave.pcm "qsd8k"
control.name "PCM"
control.card 0
}

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "softvol"
}

then execute (as root):

chmod 777 /dev/msm*

Now try opening alsamixer :) or just play something.

btw, do he need modprobe snd_dummy?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] floating_point_unit:
You use root account, you need no permission :-)

And yes Isaiah, sorry for not mentioning that! You need dummy sound driver in your kernel for this to work...

Ok, flashed 6.5 to see how this works but idk if i'm doing something wrong here. I just copied the whole winbuntu folder onto sd root and just run haret, right? Is there anything else I need because linux is throwing a string of errors saying something along the lines of bad rootfs, not syncing, attempt to kill init d, and then gets stuck forever. Is there a file i'm missing or do I have to edit the startup.txt or something? I'm going with energy rom 6.5 by the way but I think it shouldn't matter.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
It should be the ubuntu folder within winbuntu7 which should be on the root of sd card.

good luck
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] pharmeceutikle:
ahh, typing on this thing is a chore haha! ya i realized that it was inside another folder. so it works as im replying in winbuntu!
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
Thats funny, I thought forum rules meant you had to reply in english
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] pharmeceutikle:
Yeah, I agree this linux is a crazy language hahaha! But seriously, has anyone got this weird problem after powering down winbuntu? I only bootup into winbuntu that one time and turned on the wifi. After surfing the net for a few minutes and then replying to this thread I then closed out firefox and then shut down linux with that app on the desktop. I had trouble booting back up into win 6.5 as it took me about 4 - 5 tries. Each time it will get stuck on the splash screen but with persistence I finally got in. Now the bug or problem: Wifi and 3G is on but there is no connection. I turned on and off several times and it didn't work. Ok, I am not using WM anyways so I went ahead and booted up Android. Same problem. I manually rebooted the phone maybe another 5 times before things started to work properly. Also once wifi and data worked, my phone in either OS would not update the time and date. I had to do those manually. Idk, maybe something happened from the linux side as somehow there was some holdover of the data and wifi even after the OS is terminated. I don't want to try again as I need my phone working properly for at least this week. I'll see if it happens again this weekend. Thank you all, Isaiah12345 and everyone for making the HD2 the best phone in the world!
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
I know that HaRET shuts down WM in a very abrupt way, and your energy ROM might be sensitive to this. Maybe wifi was active at the time. I didn't have this problem with stock ROM, so maybe try that next time. Also task 29 before flashback might help.

Don't work too hard;)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] maneken25:
Can someone tell me how much space is needed on SD card to get winbuntu 7 work?

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Mr-Dutch:
This is very awesome, but how does this work?

Does he see my 16GB Internal Memory card as his Hard Drive?

And how big is Windows 7?

Is everything working?

Like Wifi and 3G?

So I'm able to call? Send Text messages?

Any other information like: Installation?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] isaiah12345:
i would like to thank you for uploading these mirrors as i currently did not have a copy. also i recently got a new hd2 and as soon as i get an sd card i will update this build. thank you all for your patience

ps. i will also be hard at work with my android builds and all will be updated to ics

all you do is copy the folder to the root of your sd card and run haret. it boots from there

wifi and 3g are working and you can call and send texts but no sound
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Want one for free? I've got an 8GB microSD card I'm not using. You're welcome to it if you like. PM me your address, and I'll ship it to you in the morning.

If you have ten bucks, you can get a 16GB one on Newegg with the coupon code "EMCNFJA66".

Can I install this on the miui android nand?will be work from sd?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
Not at the moment, it boots from wm6.5 in nand. But isaiah12345 is back and a new magldr may be on the way. Who knows?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] JaegerStriker:
i know this isnt really on the topic of win7 but have you thought of trying windows 8?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] cajunflavoredbob:
This is a Linux build, not a Windows 7 build. If you like the Windows 8 look, you would be better off flashing a WP7 ROM honestly.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] isaiah12345:
actually i'm currently making a metro build as well :p the only trouble i'm hitting now are the usuals. magldr, sound, and bluetooth. if not corrected i will just release. unfortunately i'm no kernel dev so i probably can't do a thing about magldr till the new release :confused:

[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Is anyone working on a way to monitor CPU temperature rather than battery temperature?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
I don't know if anyone is working on it. I also don't know if our SoC has the necessary thermal sensor(s) to make this kind of software possible.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
I'm afraid no-one is working on it, and any devs I've contacted for that didn't care at all. I was politely sent off.

The Sensation definitely has the CPU temp sensor (there is often a thermal deamon running on it), but still no devs wants to spend the little time required to make it happen.

NOTE: This requires a custom Kernel, currently available are kernels from Faux123, showp1984 or Leedroid, maybe also from MDJ.

None of them are actually working on that. One of them said that we will get CPU temp in the next kernel update, but that was already 3 updates ago!

Hi People!! i have a question... First of all, i´ve searched all questions and i found nothing about this... I´m noob and I know that my question might be stupid but i have it XD

when I had my Stock ROM I was mazed about the quality of pictures and videos bue, (heres the question) when I installed a Custom ROM this quality got lost... pictures and videos and maybe (Im not sure) games havent got the same quality than before... Is this normal?? Thanks!!

Sorry for my English XD
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhyke13ph:
You missed this Reduced Quality Thread

but it's ok :D

In Picture Quality if you are using the same application like the Android Gallery(cooliris) in 2.1 then on custom rom(2.2./2.3) it will be the same, because that Gallery downsizes the Images, so quality is reduced.

in Stock 2.1 Album, don't have that problem, or in custom roms, try to install Quick Pic. Quality will still be the same.

but of course can't compare Picture Quality from a computer to our X8(limited to 65k colors) :)

About Video's i never noticed the quality in 2.1 or in custom roms, I use Mobo Player, which can play all kinds of formats too. although i still use 720x480 mp4 for my video's if i decode them.

about Gaming 2D or 3D, yes this is very noticeable and really depends on what ROM you are using. I use FroyoBread during the early versions 2D/3D is not yet fixed so quality is reduced and can some Gradients/Pixels.

But FroyoBread reached its Final Version and 2D/3D is Great :D

[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
Dear all -

Script was updated to V1.2. I noticed that no read permissions were set to the .conf files; my thinking is there's no way Android could read those config files without read permissions, so they weren't even doing anything.

That said, the latest script now gives permission 0755 (rwxr-xr-x) to all files. After running the script now, I get a lock after first reboot in about 25 seconds.

You can download V1.2 and start from scratch, or just copy/paste the latest script contents into your GPSFix.sh. Or, run the following commands at a terminal (ADB or terminal emulator with root):

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 0755 /data/gps/secgps.conf
chmod 0755 /system/etc/gps.conf
chmod 0755 /system/bin/agpsd
mount -o ro,remount /system
reboot

Also, I noticed 31 downloads (and there were 20-some in the original post) but only a total of 3 Thanks.. I'm kind of addicted to the Thanks button and don't ask for donations otherwise, please push it if I help make a better CM7 experience for you :eek::eek::eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] chuotcontodung:
do they work with MIUI ?
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
Should work with any CM7-based ROM; I hope someone else can confirm, though; I only run vanilla CM7 and occasionally Trigger Redux.
[Vibrant Android Development] svladimir:
Any chance to make it CWM-based ?

It'd be so much nicer to drop the zip into a SD root and just run it after every nighty installation.
[Vibrant Android Development] ferhanmm:
You need to add "su" to the first line of your installation instructions
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
I assumed you would be entering the terminal with root. I'll update that in the OP though, thanks.

I don't know how to make an update.zip, but perhaps this will be a good time to learn! I'm way better at shell scripting which is why I went this route. I'll see what I can do, hopefully I can have a CWM flashable soon.. if anyone else can help me I would much appreciate it.

That said, note that you can still open an adb shell in recovery mode, so you could run the script after you flash the nightly. I haven't tried that, but I will soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] ferhanmm:
Lol yea but I guarantee you that if you didn't add it more than 20 people would ask
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
It turns out making an update.zip isn't so hard after all :) testing it now, if it works out I'll upload to OP. I'll keep the original scripts and stuff for posterity's sake.
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
Great efforts, wow

This is just great piece of development, a sure and simple cure for the GPS and the CM 7+ roms.

Now that you have created this script, one so simple, there will be leages of Vibrant Users who will be able to take advantage of your generousity and put this puppy to work.

Kudos and once again, great work.... W.0.W. :rolleyes:

I can confirm, with the AngryGPS I was able to lock in with fast lock in up to Accuracy of 20 feet, picked up 8 of the 12 satellites in view.

Thank you very, very much....
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
Dear all -

V1.2CWM released! As requested, a CWM flashable zip has been created. It does literally the exact same thing as V1.2 (copies over the GPS files to the right locations, sets 0755 permissions on all files). You don't need to flash if you've already installed V1.2, but I would keep the zip on hand for when you decide to flash a new nightly.

As always, the Thanks button lets me know I'm loved :cool::cool::cool:

I plan on starting a gpsd database, seems that while all gpsd's are created equal, some are more equal than others :p so you can mix and match the gpsd from a previous nightly, rather than referring to the supermassive black hole that is the official CM7 Nightly thread.

And finally, I must point out that I did NOT create these fixes. All the credit and praise belongs to jwleonhart and roffee. I just packaged up their work into an easy-to-install package, those guys did the real work! Please find their threads in the Credits section of my OP and hit the Thanks button!
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
My phone refuses to download these. Annoying.
[Vibrant Android Development] s15274n:
^ try getting astro, go to preferences and allow internet downloads.

Also, chrome to phone is amazing :)
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
I already did the astro thing.

Turned it on and off several times.

And I used chrome to phone to send the link, with the same result.

I swtiched over to Opera, and that eventually agreed to download it.
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
OP updated. I now offer a no-gpsd version of the CWM flashable, in case you want to keep your gpsd or mix and match with other nightlys. I'll put up a link to a Dropbox to store GPS drivers from every nightly.

Ironically, the fix used to work for me 100% of the time, but not anymore. I'm going to start experimenting with new gpsd's from CM7 nightlies; please also let me know of your own results!

EDIT: I wasn't getting locks, or was getting and losing locks with my fix. Tried #72 gpsd and the nogpsd flash.. 0/8 birds after 5 minutes. Reflashed my own fix. TTFF [time to first fix] 17 seconds, 7/10 satellites, 150 ft accuracy. After 1 minute, 20 foot accuracy. Rebooted. 0/10 after 5 minutes.

I wish I understood you, GPS. I wish I understood you.
[Vibrant Android Development] S1Cool:
very nice.. i tried right now..

before this, its takes serveral minutes to get a lock.

after this patch.

first 30 secs, In View 12 satts.

1 min, get in USE 4 satts, 25 meters accuracy.

2 min, get 6 satts, 7 meters accuracy.

Very fast!

Thanks!:D
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Nice!!! It will be much much easier now to get GPS working after nightlies. Awesome!

[Vibrant Android Development] ronin4740:
the output of this from the terminal emulator app is:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36.6K Sep 11 02:06 lto2.dat

-rxwr-xr-x 1 root root 202 Sep 11 02:06 svstatus.txt

I believe my phone rebooted itself at about 2am when the Titanium backup job finished. Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
well crap. it's helpful for me because my script is properly fetching LTO data. it's crap for the fix because there's nothing else i can do to help with GPS.. :( all I can do is tweak /etc/gps.conf, but that's definitely going to be a user-by-user thing.
[Vibrant Android Development] ronin4740:
Would it help if I mentioned that the fix seems to work MUCH better for me here in Reno where i'm vacationing than at home in St. Louis? Maybe it's a regional thing?
[Vibrant Android Development] d_phekt:
I was kind of thinking the same thing. For me once I get on the highway my GPS seems to fall on its face.
[Vibrant Android Development] a2296455:
Please, is there anyway you can submit this to the CM7 repository to put it into the official CM builds?
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
Looks like v1.3 is on the way into the repo..

I'll work to get v1.5 in there. However, note that I will *not* be putting in the old gpsd - whatever gpsd is currently in there stays in there. Therefore, the fix that will go into the repo will be the No-GPSD variant.

Finally, the fix will be included as an optional flashable in OMFGB for Vibrant once a new nightly comes out for it, and will likely be included by default once kernel.org comes back online.
[Vibrant Android Development] a2296455:
I just installed the fix, and I'm not getting anything :/

The GPS icon isn't even going on when I'm in google maps (the one in the top right corner).
[Vibrant Android Development] a2296455:
Shoud I have wiped data when I installed?
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
no, this shouldn't be necessary.

As I said, the fix is a bit hit-and-miss. Maybe try flashing a nightly again, then flash the no-gpsd variant. The gpsd bundled in the fix works well for locks but tends to crap out if no lock is achieved immediately. I haven't had much luck with the latest gpsd for lock, though.
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
Dear all -

The latest CM7 nightly comes bundled with an init-script that gets lto.dat. This is incompatible with the GPS Fix, since we use lto2.dat. I will update the fix later today to delete their init script.

That said, please try out the latest nightly without the fix and see how it works.
[Vibrant Android Development] effy_t:
Thanks for the update!

I've been trying to use your fix on the latest nightly for a few days and didn't get any lock for more than a few seconds.

Is there any way to disable your fix to try again CM7 without it ?

Edit:

I didn't notice #124 has been released, my post was related to build #105. Trying #124 gps at this moment (without the fix)
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
Hi all -

The latest CM7 nightlies has installed version 1.3.1 of the GPS fix. This may conflict with the software fix found here; to get around that, please run the following in a terminal (assuming you've flashed 1.5 on top of the nightly):

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /etc/init.d/90getgps_lto /etc/init.d/get-gps-lto
chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/get-gps-lto
rm /data/gps/lto.dat
reboot

This will overwrite the init-script from the CM7 nightly with my init-script, delete the old lto.dat data, and reboot.

I'll have 1.5.1 up Monday to take care of this, but I won't get around to it until then. Sorry!
[Vibrant Android Development] FadeFx:
hi, i am testing your gps fix (no gpsd) on my i9000 atm. it looks like it is working so far, still i have to take a testdrive to see if there is a difference in real life performance, as i had problems with gps on my phone ever since (seems to be one from the first batches) and tend to loose gps fix frequently while using it and also had very inaccurate position despite the accuracy shown in gpstest looks good. i will report back as soon as i took it for a ride.

edit: version with gpsd did not start the gps anymore.
